HAPPY NEW YEAR!



It was nice to see you all yesterday. And I'm glad you all got good presents from the Three Wise Men and from Santa.

We started a new unit. It is about what we do in our Free Time. First we listened to a recording of a girl saying what she usually does after school.

First, she listens to music, then she does her homework. After that, she has dinner with her family, and so on.

In these sentences, because they express actions that happen everyday, we use the Simple Present.

This form of the verb is very easy in English.

Example: verb to read:

I               read
You          read
He/She/It reads

We           read
You          read
They        read

As you can see, only the 3rd person singular is a bit different: it has an s.

To make questions we use an auxiliary: the Simple Present of to do.

I               do
You          do
He/She/It does

We           do
You          do
They        do

It's like this:

Do I                  read?
Do you             read?
Does he/she/it  read?

Do we               read?
Do you              read?
Do they             read?

And finally when we make a negative sentence:

I               don't     read
You          don't     read
He/She/It doesn't read

We           don't     read
You          don't     read
They        don't     read

We studied a number of actions which were not completely new for the students:

Wake up, get dressed, have breakfast or lunch or dinner, wash you face or your hands or your hair, brush your teeth, comb your hair, brush your hair, walk, run, do your homework, do exercise, play an instrument, play sports, play games, sing, cook, buy, sleep, go out, ride your bike.

In the last part of our class we played a board game. Students had to make sentences in the Simple Present using one of the following adverbs: Always,usually,  often,  sometimes,seldom, never.

Homework:

Answer the questions:

1. What do you after breakfast?

2. What do you do after the English class in Learn&Enjoy?

3. What does your mother do after breakfast? (Ask her, your mother)

4. What does your father do after breakfast? (Ask him, your father)
